Tiny Township's program survey regarding gypsy moths (lymantria dispar dispar LDD) is now available to obtain public feedback on the impact of the LDD and consideration of a 2022 Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (BTK) program.
As part of the 2021 budget deliberations in February, Tiny councillors decided to follow the advice of the County of Simcoe forestry department and the Severn Sound Environmental Association, and not perform a spray program on municipally owned property, due to the cyclical nature of these outbreaks, and the potential cost of the program.
Council is currently reviewing the LDD situation and any plans for 2022 as part of the 2022 budget discussions. As such, a 10-minute, anonymous survey has been developed to gather public input on the matter prior to budget deliberations.
To participate in the short survey, follow the link to Tiny's website or click here. The deadline to respond to the 2022 Budget Public Engagement Survey is Friday, October 1 by 4:30 p.m.
Any questions or comments can be directed to public works director Tim Leitch at [email protected].
